Her latest works are the It’s Reigning Men series, featuring SOMETHING IN THE HEIR; HEIR TODAY GONE TOMORROW; BAD TO THE THRONE; LOVE IS IN THE HEIR; and SHAME OF THRONES. She also published the memoir WINGING IT: A MEMOIR OF CARING FOR A VENGEFUL PARROT WHO'S DETERMINED TO KILL ME, NOW RE-TITLED BITE ME: A PARROT, A FAMILY AND A WHOLE LOT OF FLESH WOUNDS; the novels ANYWHERE BUT HERE (soon to be re-released); WHERE THE HEART IS; the essay collection NAKED MAN ON MAIN STREET, and ACCIDENTALLY ON PURPOSE and COMPROMISING POSITIONS (writing as Erin Delany); and is a contributor to the humorous dog anthology I'M NOT THE BIGGEST BITCH IN THIS RELATIONSHIP. Her work has been found in Ladies Home Journal, the Washington Post, Marie-Claire.com, and on NPR’s Day to Day.

She has worked as a professional photographer, an orthodontic assistant (learning quite readily that she was not cut out for a career in polyester), a waitress (probably her highest-paying job), a TV reporter, a pre-obituary writer, as well as a publicist to a United States Senator (where she first learned to write fiction). She's photographed Prince Charles (and her assistant husband got him to chuckle!), Elizabeth Taylor, and the president of Uganda. She and her family now live a less exotic life in Virginia.
